\u2022 Important step in in the expansion of business in China
\n\u2022 36,000m2 office and production area for assembly and production of
\n\u2022 high-pressure pumps, motors and valve technology
\n\u2022 production capacity up to 100,000 units per year<\/p>\n
Aschaffenburg\/Weifang, China, January 15th, 2020 \u2013 In an official ceremony, Linde Hydraulics GmbH & Co.
\nKG opened its newly-built production plant in Weifang, China.
\nThe global project team took only two years for completion from concept to opening of this 36,000m2 facility which encompasses an administration building along with 25,000m2 production halls.
\nThe new facility consolidates processes previously housed in several buildings and allows for the best possible material flow throughout production.
\nCoordination at the beginning of the project allowed for optimal plant layout through “greenfield\u201d development.
\nFor example, the measurement\/testing laboratory is directly connected to both the receiving and the production departments to achieve and secure the high-quality standards.
\n\u201cWe are happy about the new capacities that have been realized in Weifang.
\nThanks to the very strong, international collaboration between Germany and China, we have been able to develop a function-specific and overall layout, which will increase our efficiency. \u201csaid Dr. Joerg Ulrich, CEO of the company.
\nThe Weifang plant has the capacity to produce 100,000 units per year.
\n80% of the production capacity will be dedicated to pumps and motors and 20% for valve technology.
\n“With the new plant in China, we will further strengthen our position in the Asian market and continue our global growth course,” said Dr. Joerg Ulrich, on the plant opening. “The units produced here will enable us to supply the Asian market faster and with a more customer-oriented focus than ever before.
\nWe can now offer more localized units with market-oriented prices.\u201d Along with the recently opened second location in North America, the new Weifang plant in China is another step by the German company to grow globally and to pursue the “local for local” market approach to providing faster availability and shorter reaction times around the globe.
\nThe global Headquarters of the company will remain on the location in Aschaffenburg.
